House Tour – Playroom

All Posts, Illinois House, My Home

Moving this tour on down to the basement.  Get to the bottom of the stairs, turn right…welcome to the Playroom!
The first project I built in here was the shutters.  (Vinyl is from Target.)

Then I built a Playhouse facade on the closet.  The inside of the closet has cork board panels so you can hang artwork…or whatever.


The playhouse has a hinged roof for extra storage.

 

Then I built a storage wall.
 M and I built that castle doll bed together.  Good times…back when it wasn’t -10 in the garage.

 

Here’s the playroom from the adjoining Game room.  There were going to be some curtains…


But that’s something the next owners can decide!
Miss some of my Illinois House Tour?  Come on in!

    Okay, seriously?? I can't believe – even with a slow market – that someone isn't going to come in and snatch this up. If they have kiddos, there is NO WAY they could say no to that basement! Even my BOYS would love playing there!

    Absolutely gorgeous…and genius…as usual! The hinged roof on the playhouse would seal the deal for me. And just the thought of finding things to go in all those organizers just about makes me drool. Awesome, Sandra!

    I've seen this room in previous posts, but it is still my favorite. If I paid you rent, would you let me live in the playhouse? I could pay you with yummy treats! ha ha ha

    This might be my favorite room of the whole house and I don't even have kids. The play house facade is amazing!

    My goodness, I love your house.! My kids would love to have that play room! For that matter, I would love to have it too! There is no designated play area in my house, which means EVERYWHERE is the play area! Which makes it hard to keep a clean house. If your house was local, I would sooo be calling the realtor just to get a walk through and see it for myself. You've done a beautiful job. Can't wait to see what you do to your next house!

    The play room is, of course, awesome. But I want to know about your floors. Is that the same floor that's in your upper levels? What wood is it and what color is it?

    Ah, the playhouse closet. 'Twas what brought me to you in the first place. (Meaning, that was the first post I ever read of yours way back when). Happy sighs.
